She cites a new well reported piece in The New York Times in which Warren is supposedly vigorously reassuring the Democratic establishment that she's a team player and that she's aligned with them. Ball's breakdown and analysis of the situation is well articulated and makes a lot of sense. I HIGHLY recommend watching the video before commenting so you can better understand what I'm talking about, you can watch it here. With this new information coming into light has your opinion on Elizabeth Warren changed? Do you favor her more or less now? For me personally this really worries me a lot, she's still my second choice and by far a better candidate in every way compared to the rest of the field, apart from Bernie of course. Hopefully this doesn't mean she'll buckle under pressure from corporate establishment Democrats if she gets the nomination and becomes president but it's definitely worrying for me. |

Are you familiar with Third Way centrism, the centrist ideology popularized by Bill Clinton that pretty much runs the establishment now? Their think tank supports Warren as an alternative to Sanders if Biden fails. I still support Warren as my second choice, but this is the biggest red flag against her I've seen thus far. If the king of establishment centrist think tanks, Third Way, says that Warren is so fundamentally to the right of Bernie Sanders that they see her as a way to contain the Democratic Party's leftward movement, that gives me serious pause with her.
